This is the procedure to create a new email account in a domain. For this example, we will use the following parameters:

- You want to create the email account john@example.com.
- This account will be used to receive and send email.
- The password for this account will be s3cret2991.

6. Enter the email account details
- In the Address field, enter the user part of the email account. For example, if you want to create the email account john@example.com, enter john in this field.
- Next, select a password. You can choose your own password, or let the system choose a random one for you. For this example, we decided to use the password s3cret2991. Enter that password in the box, and make sure the radio button next to it is checked. If you want a random password, just check the radio button next to 'Generate a random password'.
- Select wether you want to use SpamAssassin on this account or not. If you select to use SpamAssassin, you will have to configure your email client later to filter messages marked as spam.
- Next, if you want this account to expire automatically on a given date, enter the desired date here and check the radio button next to it. This is intended for test or temporary accounts that are used only for a limited amount of time. If you don't want the account to expire automatically, make sure the radio button next to 'Doesn't expire' is checked.
- And finally, you can add some notes about this account in the 'Notes' field. For example, you could enter a description about who's using this account, and for what purpose. This step is optional.
Click on the 'Create' button when you've finished.
